School Overview

Tucked into the leafy Southwest Portland neighborhoods near the Tualatin Mountains, Jackson Middle School draws families who want strong academics without leaving the laid-back, outdoorsy culture Portland is known for. Scoring in the 93rd percentile statewide, it's one of the top middle schools in Oregon, with particularly sharp English and math programs that keep students well-prepared heading into high school. Families who settle in this corner of the city — think tree-lined streets, proximity to Forest Park trails, and a tight-knit feel that's a little quieter than inner Portland — tend to find Jackson a natural fit for kids who are curious, motivated, and ready to be challenged.
